ancient_n be_v four_n some_o follow_v hippocrat_n who_o affirm_v heat_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o concoction_n other_o maintain_v with_o plistonicus_n the_o disciple_n of_o pythagoras_n that_o the_o

bruise_v or_o grind_v in_o the_o stomach_n and_o so_o the_o stomach_n by_o consequence_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o mill_n and_o digest_v nothing_o but_o grind_n the_o four_o maintain_v with_o asclepiades_n that_o what_o we_o call_v concoction_n be_v no_o concoction_n at_o all_o but_o that_o the_o meat_n raw_a and_o undigested_a as_o it_o be_v eat_v be_v distribute_v through_o the_o body_n this_o be_v

at_o all_o so_o the_o doctor_n give_v we_o demonstration_n which_o be_v no_o demonstration_n at_o all_o among_o the_o modern_n some_o follow_v the_o ancient_n other_o salt_n and_o sour_a ferment_n some_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o archaeus_n etc._n etc._n the_o doctor_n only_o beg_v one_o thing_n for_o to_o refute_v his_o adversary_n opinion_n which_o be_v so_o just_a that_o no_o body_n can_v refuse_v it_o viz._n that_o whatever_o the_o cause_n of_o concoction_n be_v it_o must_v be_v such_o that_o will_v not_o either_o dissolve_v the_o stomach_n or_o other_o solid_a part_n of_o the_o

as_o the_o fire_n will_v not_o melt_v down_o while_o the_o broth_n be_v a_o boil_a this_o be_v grant_v the_o doctor_n soon_o stop_v his_o adversary_n mouth_n by_o ask_n they_o how_o it_o come_v to_o

not_o only_a meat_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n but_o that_o which_o be_v much_o more_o solid_a i_o very_o believe_v that_o not_o only_o the_o doctor_n himself_o but_o his_o admirer_n also_o think_v this_o a_o insurmountable_a difficulty_n which_o no_o doubt_n have_v make_v he_o reject_v these_o opinion_n and_o embrace_v one_o so_o absurd_a as_o he_o will_v be_v find_v it_o be_v strange_a to_o

that_o be_v against_o these_o opinion_n hold_v against_o the_o doctor_n be_v for_o if_o he_o ask_v they_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o stomach_n be_v not_o dissolve_v as_o well_o as_o the_o meat_n in_o it_o they_o may_v ask_v he_o how_o it_o come_v that_o the_o stomach_n by_o bruise_v and_o grind_a meat_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o itself_o and_o much_o more_o solid_a too_o be_v not_o grind_v to_o dust_n and_o crumble_v away_o to_o nothing_o long_o ere_o now_o the_o doctor_n answer_v that_o whatever_o damage_n the_o stomach_n sustain_v that_o way_n be_v soon_o repair_v by_o the_o blood_n whatever_o force_n be_v in_o this_o it_o make_v as_o much_o for_o any_o of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n as_o for_o he_o and_o so_o the_o stygian_a lake_n or_o chemist_n laboratory_n

any_o difficulty_n in_o this_o which_o puzell_n this_o learned_a man_n so_o sore_o that_o he_o think_v it_o unanswerable_a for_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o digest_v can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o our_o stomach_n or_o other_o part_n of_o our_o body_n for_o they_o differ_v as_o much_o as_o live_a thing_n and_o dead_a for_o what_o we_o eat_v must_v first_o die_v and_o cease_v to_o be_v nourish_v before_o it_o can_v be_v digest_v and_o be_v the_o stomach_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o the_o professor_n allege_v with_o these_o thing_n we_o digest_v we_o shall_v lie_v under_o the_o same_o necessity_n of_o preserve_v our_o body_n with_o divers_a pickles_n and_o spice_n as_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v beef_n and_o mutton_n from_o corrupt_v with_o salt_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v all_o talk_n and_o walk_v mummy_n but_o lest_o the_o doctor_n nnderstand_v not_o this_o i_o remit_v he_o to_o the_o schoolmaster_n of_o

putrify_v he_o must_v prevent_v that_o too_o and_o take_v another_o word_n of_o dr._n lister_n for_o the_o professor_n can_v away_o with_o this_o old_a musty_a stink_a opinion_n and_o no_o wonder_n for_o it_o turn_v his_o mill_n into_o a_o jack_n and_o make_v it_o good_a for_o nothing_o but_o grind_v t_n s._n there_o be_v other_o reason_n say_v he_o why_o we_o reject_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o

say_v the_o doctor_n do_v not_o answer_v the_o question_n for_o one_o may_v still_o ask_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o flesh_n out_o of_o the_o stomach_n do_v not_o corrupt_a or_o putrify_v so_o soon_o or_o if_o it_o do_v it_o do_v not_o turn_v to_o chile_n which_o nevertheless_o the_o same_o flesh_n will_v do_v in_o the_o stomach_n in_o a_o very_a little_a time_n this_o be_v just_a such_o a_o question_n as_o if_o one_o will_v ask_v wherefore_o the_o wind_n of_o the_o microcosm_n smell_v worse_a than_o that_o of_o the_o macrocosm_n and_o why_o the_o vapour_n pen_v up_o there_o corrupt_a so_o soon_o but_o i_o wonder_v the_o doctor_n do_v not_o see_v that_o this_o will_v put_v the_o water_n by_o his_o mill_n and_o hinder_v it_o to_o go_v except_o he_o make_v it_o go_v with_o wind_n of_o which_o he_o never_o want_v plenty_n for_o i_o will_v ask_v he_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o stomach_n of_o any_o animal_n take_v out_o and_o fill_v with_o meat_n and_o press_v between_o the_o two_o hand_n never_o turn_v the_o meat_n into_o chile_n which_o nevertheless_o it_o will_v do_v in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n when_o the_o stomach_n be_v in_o the_o animal_n the_o

circumstantiat_fw-la peculiar_a to_o the_o stomach_n so_o will_v his_o adversary_n reply_n that_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o putrefaction_n that_o can_v be_v define_v and_o yet_o putrefaction_n it_o be_v or_o corruption_n still_o and_o be_v a_o just_a notion_n of_o the_o thing_n than_o any_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o but_o among_o all_o the_o opinion_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o none_o be_v so_o ridiculous_a and_o absurd_a as_o the_o doctor_n be_v as_o he_o have_v state_v it_o for_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o stomach_n may_v contribute_v to_o the_o
